 NUALGI
• 'NUALGI' is a patented nano technology plant nutrient that
promotes photosynthesis and thus speed up the growth of any
plant.

• Its being used to increase growth of diatoms algae in seawater,

high saline water, fresh water, polluted water, sewage water,
etc.

• The growth of diatoms is very fast - starting within 5 minutes

and continues as long as the nutrient lasts i.e., about 1 week.

• Its being tested on Green Algae to extract them for Biodiesel.

 NUALGI
• On land the micronutrients required are available and plants pick
up the required nutrients from the soil.

• In water, the micro nutrients are not soluble and hence they
precipitate out.

• Nualgi contains Silica, Iron, Manganese, Zinc and other metals

and minerals.

• Green Algae and Diatom Algae are two groups of algae.

• Diatoms evolved first and these have silica bodies and are
consumed by Zooplankton.

• Green Algae are the direct ancestors of terrestrial plants and they
have a cellulose cell walls, hence are not consumed by
zooplankton.

• Both Diatoms and Green Algae have many uses and Nualgi can be
used to stimulate their growth.
 NUALGI – Diatom Algae
• Nualgi is specifically made to be available
to be consumed by Diatom algae.

• 1 kg of Nualgi used in natural lakes or

sewage treatment plants results in a
bloom of Diatoms and these absorb about
137.5 kg of Carbon dioxide and release
100 kgs of Oxygen.

• 1 kg of Nualgi treats 1 acre of lake for a

period of 1 week – about 4 million litres.
 DIATOM ALGAE
• Are small algae less than 1 mm in size.

• Among several species of algae, diatoms as a species are

responsible for more than 50 % of the world's food produced in the
oceans.

• Diatom Algae are beneficial Algae compared to other types of

Algae like Blue Green Algae and Dinoflagallets .

• The growing diatom algae absorb nutrients and carbon dioxide and
produces oxygen by photosynthesis.

• The oxygen released during photosynthesis helps aerobic bacteria

in breaking down the organics and converting the pollutants to
base constituents.

• In wastewater treatment plants and polluted lakes, the stinking

odor produced by an anaerobic system is eliminated.
 GREEN & BLUE GREEN ALGAE
• In rivers / streams / lakes where sewage is dumped
untreated the proliferation of green and blue green
algae is seen.
• The water will be dark green or blackish in color and
the usual foul smell of H2S is present.
• These algae have cellulose cell walls and hence cannot
support downstream food chain for Fish.
• The algae periodically dies off causing algal crash and
in the process it removes dissolved oxygen from the
water causing mass Fish kill.
 FOOD CHAIN
• Diatom algae produce food by photosynthesis.

• Diatom Algae are consumed by zooplankton.

• Zooplankton are food for Fish.

• If there are no Fish, the zooplankton become part of the sludge

and become excellent manure for plants.

• There is no bad smell both in the water and in the sludge.

Benefits / changes in water body

• Increases in fish population.

• The availability of fishes brings migrating birds like
cranes and pelicans into the vicinity of the lakes.

• In Bangalore Madivala lake was treated and Pelicans

flocking to the lake in November 2007 when the fishes
were abundant.
• Other lakes in which it has used - Ulsoor Lake,
Vengayyana kere, Puttenahalli Lake .

Extract from Ashok Leyland Ltd
CSR Report 2005 – 06

• During the heavy downpours in end-2005, the ponds filled up and

overflowed. After the rains, the living organisms in the ponds,
including the fish, were found to be dying in large numbers.
Extensive analysis of the reasons was carried out in coordination with
a few Governmental agencies. The root cause was found to be an
increase in the ‘Biological Oxygen’ demand due to sudden changes in
atmospheric conditions accompanying the downpours - a serious
threat to the living organisms in the water.
• As a solution, a chemical called Nualgi was used to increase the
Oxygen content in the water and the problem was solved.

Mosquitos and Water Hyacinth

It was observed that mosquitoes do not breed in

the clean oxygenated water.

Water Hyacinth also does not grow in clean water.

However detailed studies are yet to be conducted.

 NUALGI
procedure
• Nualgi has to be taken in 60 mesh net and dissolved in water
and added by bucket or mug to the water body.

• The dissolution can also be made in a tank and the water

released into the lake.

• The efficacy of the product is increased by higher dilution.

• The test for determining the quantity of Nualgi required
depends on the ultimate dissolved oxygen level required.

• One has to optimize quantity of Nualgi required for each water

body.

 Ulsoor Lake, Bengaluru
• 100 acre lake – raw untreated sewage enters the lake. It
is being treated regularly about 8 kgs of Nualgi per
week.
 Oxygen - Diatom Algae vs Diffuser Aerators
Diatoms are more economical and do not require any capital expenditure or
power consumption
Trees vs Diatom Algae
• Growing Diatom Algae
is similar to planting
trees - but in WATER
– they too absorb
carbon dioxide,
release oxygen and
thus clean sewage
laden water-bodies,
prevent fish kills and
red tides in oceans.
 Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico
Mississippi ‘Dead Zone’
• Low oxygen water has • oxygen concentration
spread across nearly (red and orange very low)
5,800 square miles of the
Gulf of Mexico

• Nutrient input the cause

• Nualgi can be used in
Mississippi River and Gulf
of Mexico to increase
Diatom growth in the
river and thereby reduce
the nutrient level and
increase oxygen level
